Academic Costumes The wearing of academic costumes is a custom that goes back to the Middle Ages. Since the early European and English universities were founded by the church, the students and teachers were required to wear distinctive gowns at all times. Although Morehead State University the custom was brought to this country in Colonial days, the requirement for students was soon dropped. The custom for professors was confined to special occasions such as graduating exercises and inaugurations of new presidents. With the increase in the number of educational institutions and the development of new subject-matter fields, some confusion arose in time about the type of gown and the specific color to denote various degrees. To introduce desirable uniformity and set up a clearing Class of 1988 house for new developments, a commission representing leading American colleges produced The lncercollegiace Code in 1895. In 1932, a national committee of the American Council on Education revised this code into The Academic Costume Code. It was revised in 1959. Although not obligatory, most of the educational institutions Spring Commencement in the country follow it in awarding their degrees, earned and honorary. The most significant part of the academic dress is the hood. The color of its velvet border indicates the academic field, and it is lined with the color or colors of the institution granting the degree. The hoods of those receiving a Master of Arts or an honorary degree of Doctor of Letters have those same color indications, but each successively higher degree carries with it a longer hood. The doctoral hood Saturday, May 14, 1988 also has side panels on the back. Although most doctoral gowns are black with black velvet bars and panels, in some cases the color of the gown is that of the university conferring the degree. All such gowns have black bars and panels. Academic fields may also be indicated by the color of velvet on the doctoral gowns; three two-inch bars on the sleeves and a five-inch border extending from the back of the neck down the two sides in front. For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy the color is dark blue; for Doctor of Medicine, green; for Doctor of Education, light blue; for Doctor of Science, golden yellow. These colors also appear in the velvet of the hood unless the hood represents an honorary degree. The Doctor of Laws has purple velvet. The Doctor of Humanities is white, as is the Doctor of Letters. The Doctor of Public Administration has a hood with velvet in pale aqua. Caps are black. Tassels are usually black for bachelor's and master's degrees, gold for doctorates. Gowns for bachelor's and master's are plain black, but sleeves of the latter are short with trailing "elbows." Doctoral gowns of European universities are usually very colorful. The caps are often of some soft material like velvet and are ordinarily not of the conventional mortar-board shape.
